THE ARTIST

Luzia Sento Sé

“I like to contrast the confrontation with gestural resistance, gradient with pure cores, the white space with complex collages. Designers love negative space.”

On the nightstand, autobiographies by Malala Yousafzai, Rita Lee, Diane von Fürstenberg and Michele Obama. "These women weren’t afraid of making noise in their areas."

This noise that screams a feminine and vibrant energy is presente in the canvases of the young artist Luzia Sento Sé, from Bahia, Brazil, and currently 29 years old.

The love for her homeland combined with deep research in the Brazilian soil brought Luzia's arts to life. From cocoa to everything important to Brazil, she brought the pitanga, amethyst, cocoa and Brazilwood to her paintings. From Salvador, she inherited symbols such as tiles, lace and beads.

In addition to artistic compositions, there is a wide variety of graphic design details in Luzia’s artworks. Many elements combined into one piece of art, indeed. But put together they all result in clean, orderly paintings.

Graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design, in Georgia, United States, the artist bets on white spaces that bring some freshness amidst her cheerful gradient tones.

“I like to contrast the confrontation with gestural resistance, gradient with pure cores, the white space with complex collages. Designers love negative space.”

But it was not just from the biographical sources of entrepreneur women that Luzia found inspiration to build her visual identity.

In the visual arts, names like Margaret Mee and Beatriz Milhazes are part of Luzia's arsenal of references.

Mee was a British botanical artist who specialised in plants from Brazil. She produced hundreds of botanical paintings as a result of her exploration of the flora of Brazil, along the River Amazon and in the Amazon rainforest.

“I have always liked botanical art. I think it is a beautiful meeting of science and art”, she adds.

Another reference is Beatriz Milhazes, a Brazilian artist known for her work juxtaposing Brazilian cultural imagery and references to western Modernist painting. Milhazes is a collage artist and painter known for her large-scale works and vibrant colors. Swirling with geometric and arabesque shapes, her works are kaleidoscopic.

Luzia believes the way Beatriz translates the Brazilian spirit is contagious. “As a Brazilian born in Salvador, in February, I feel very connected to the colorful chaos that invades the country during Carnival”.

Add this explosion of Luzia’s visual inspirations to Tropicália, a creative movement that originated in the late 1960s in Brazil. Encompassing music, art and writing it celebrated Brazil's culture and people. It was also an art movement that sought to convey a message and ideology in an understandable way to the masses, using typically Brazilian elements.

“Like Tropicalism, I try to exalt what belongs to our country. I seek an easy and popular language and I have Brazil as an infinite source of inspiration”, says the Young artist who, undoubdtedly, puts her Brazilian heart and soul into her paintings.
